This key has been on a local garden wall for a few days, but it was only yesterday that I had a light bulb moment and realised I could use it for the 'lost' theme.

I was lost in france
in the fields the birds were singing
I was lost in france
and the day was just beginning
as I stood there in the morning rain
I had a feeling I can't explain
I was lost in france
...
Yet another tour of hiking and biking in Switzerland/Italy/France. This is just a bit below Col du Galibier. I tried to esape the rain (but could not).

Sculpture nearby Central station, The Hague. In the background a flock of starlings searching for a place to rest for the night.
My youngest daughter was a treasure hunter from a very young age, plastic shovel and pail in hand she would be out digging in dirt or sand at the beach for hours. By five years old she had quite a collection of found objects she was proud of.
When we moved into our present home sixteen years ago, she had new territory to unearth and on day one found this porcelain doll limb. We've often wondered if it was from the family living here in the 60's or the farm that was here before suburbia?
Macro Mondays ~ Lost/Found
HMM to All!
It's easy to feel lost in the vast Norwegian nature.
About:
...but I'm only a few miles from the center of Oslo, so that lost feeling doesn't last long :))
This is another shot from the nature reserve on the island Malmøya just south of Oslo. In mid April it will be prohibited to access this area due to nesting birds :)) Maybe I'll come back in the spring with my 200mm lens and try out some bird shots :))
Discussion
Comments and critique are as always welcome. Let me hear your opinion, why do you like this, or even better, how would you approach this scenery. Give me your thoughts... not just a Wow!... only then I can improve :))
Luca would have raised the saturation in this shot. I think I already went pretty far on the contrast level: If I raise the saturation, I'm afraid it would tip the image over the edge and be over processed... (my wife feels that it is over processed already :)
Chee Seong thinks the foreground object is a bit too close to the frame, and that it probably would be better if this was shot further back.
The sky was this red for only a couple of minutes so I didn't have to much time to think this through :)) At 10mm (16mm eq. 35mm) foreground objects has to be fairly close to really get in the shot, but this is maybe a little too close...
What do you other Flickrities think?

JMT DAY 8 - SUNRISE AT DUCK LAKE
Sunrise at Duck Lake
When I awoke, the stars still shone in the sky. But, not for long, thinking to myself, I hurriedly walked to the lookout point off of the trail. Catching the sunrise glow cast on Silver Divide was my first objective. I had my eye on this divide as we were coming up the day before. The pale ridge line juxtaposed against the gorgeous Earth’s Shadow started glowing fast in bright red. It was truly a sublime moment.
Once the glow faded, I packed up my gear and ambled back to the lake. The glow that would be cast on the northeast slope of the lake where the trail continued crossing diagonally toward Mammoth Crest, aka Duck Lake Pass, was next. The manzanitas and trees concentrated along the shore added an extra layer of texture.
Like many, I am such a sucker for tranquil reflections of the mountains in the water. And it was no different here. Before the wind started disturbing the mirror-like reflection, I completely lost myself in such a mesmerizing moment.
Halloween #10
My final image of this year's series.
Happy Halloween everyone!
Thank you to the talented Bruce Sorrell for his inspiration. Have a look at his work.
The original photo was taken in Central Park NYC in 2004
You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come
A bigger one
And you'll be lost
He stood there in front of the door, unable to move or think about what to do next. He coldly stared at everything that was lost as his pulse accelerated. Harder beats from his chest subtly swayed him forward and back, with buckling knees below. He balanced his arm on the door frame and anchored his look through the window. All what remains now is a room open to the elements. Any life left of this place resides in the flood of intangible memories pouring through his mind. He did not expect to return home to this.

“If you feel lost, disappointed, hesitant, or weak, return to yourself, to who you are, here and now and when you get there, you will discover yourself, like a lotus flower in full bloom, even in a muddy pond, beautiful and strong.”

I am hoping to return to Flickr once again...It is summer after all, time for reflection and time to have time...I hope! I have so missed all your amazing art. And Flickr is a little different...:)
